Douglas Burgess in the Hot Shop
Douglas Jan Burgess II is an Indigenous artist (Haida, Dakota, Grand Ronde) and his aesthetic is inspired by the Haida art surrounding him during his childhood in Hydaburg, Alaska. He began learning glass at Hilltop Artists in 2009, later continuing his education at Pilchuck Glass School and Corning Museum of Glass. Burgess has exhibited his work at the Museum of Glass, Tacoma Art Museum, Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, Thurston County Museum of Fine Arts, and Pilchuck Glass School. In his work, Burgess pays homage to his culture’s traditional practices within a contemporary format. He now teaches at Hilltop Artists, working with middle school students to foster teamwork, perseverance, and to build confidence through working with hot glass.

Abram Deslauriers in the Flame Shop
Abram Deslauriers is a visual, sound and performance artist based in San Francisco. Deslauriers earned his MFA in Craft/Material Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University and studied at University of Washington as an undergrad in Interdisciplinary Visual Arts.
Deslauriers’ art explores identity, perception and the pursuit of expressing the authentic self. Often work is presented in abstracted forms, complex networks of lines or fields of rhythm that invites viewers to oscillate perception between minutia and the whole. It speaks to the beauty of personhood that cannot be summed up in words, that is ever shifting in day-to-day presentation of one’s self in the chaotic speed of connectivity. The work itself feels complete, yet evades a final state, a composition that can be scaled and rearranged. A manifestation of personhood's ineffable beauty, a poetic commentary on how our identities adapt and shift our relationships in response to an ever-changing world.
